Whatever movies I sign, they have to get me out of my comfort zone. Otherwise, I would get bored very easily.

The idea is to do out-of-the-box films that showcase my versatility and talent.

To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.

In a big Bollywood romantic film, taking my shirt off and spreading the hand towards the mountain with dancers behind me are not my cup of tea.

Surround yourself with a bunch of like-minded people, and you'll soak up their habits like a starved sponge. Fat people with fat friends care less about their weight.

I'm a stand-up comedian-turned-actor-turned-vampire at night.

I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, who have carved a niche for themselves. I think doing different kind of films gives you longevity and the ability to set yourself apart.

You realise the responsibility of carrying a film on your shoulders when people are investing money in you and they recognise the hard work you have to put in.

In 'Delhi Belly,' I was bald; in other movies I always carried a different look.

In my life nothing goes wrong. When things seem to not meet my expectations, I let go of how I think things should be. It's a matter of not having any attachment to any fixed outcome.

Roosevelt's magic lay in one facet of his personality: He knew how to take the risk. No other man in public life I knew could so readily take the challenge of the new.

My views tend to be centrist. I'm not a big fan of George W., but my politics tend to be more Republican than not.

Xenophobia is the hatred of foreigners. I don't hate anyone.

That's what I think people sense when they get hooked by surfing - hooked by their relationship with the ocean. All of a sudden, they're part of something that's bigger than them.

It sounds old-fashioned to say, but we have some kind of purpose for being here, not poets or writers, but all of us humans.
